Listen "#68: Reclaiming rest - The unexpected key to a healthier you"
Episode Synopsis
What would you say if we told you that resting is one of the hardest things to do to improve your health and wellbeing?
In a world where life is busy and the most common reason given for not being able to build new healthy habits is a lack of time, it’s a bit of a surprise to know that rest isn’t something that’s being excitedly embraced and used to improve your health and happiness.
Today we’re joined by the fabulous Nikki St Paul who is a rest advocate. Nikki helps busy professionals to understand the importance and power of rest. She passionately wants you to switch your beliefs away from rest only being about the sleep you get in bed, to understanding what true rest is and why it’s essential to your overall wellbeing.
This is a fantastic conversation and one where we share so much valuable information and tips to get started with new habits to build stronger health.
In today’s episode we share:
What rest is and the importance of building habits for rest.
The reasons for and risks of the rest deficit we’re seeing.
How doing less may be the answer to getting more from life.
Overcoming mindset barriers around taking time to rest.
Understanding what works for you and knowing that everyone can create habits for impactful rest.
Getting started with micro-mindful moments.
The benefits of being present more often across your total life.
Using mindfulness and why it’s about ‘non-doing’.
What meditation really is and why most people struggle because they’re doing it wrong.
The importance of being self-aware to know what it is you need to feel well.
